Everyone's favorite hard-travelin' heroes are back and brought to you through the iconic lens of World's Finest! In the not-too-distant past, Oliver Queen and Hal Jordan find themselves at a crossroads...and only teaming up together once more will save them from the scope of the mysterious bounty hunter known in whispered tones throughout the underworld as Deathstroke the Terminator. Plus, writer Jeremy Adams returns to the world of the Flash to weave a twisted tale of Barry Allen on the road to crisis--it's a World's Finest adventure you cannot miss in this special, oversize one-shot spectacular!
Adams getting the opportunity to create within the Worlds Finest brand was a stellar choice. He retains the love of the characters and fun adventures that has been the hallmark of the main series under writer Mark Waid. Hopefully, DC will give Adams more opportunities to do other Worlds Finest stories in 2025. Read Full Review
There's a fun, old-school pulpy vibe to this story, fitting in neatly into past continuity while also feeling like a modern display for Adams' writing. I know why Batman and Superman get the main focus, but it's great to see other friendships revisited as well. Read Full Review

Green Lantern / Green Arrow: World's Finest Special #1 represents something I sometimes miss from today's comics, and that's that it's just a fun book filled with adventure and character. And there's nothing wrong with that at all! It takes me back to when I read comics for the pure escapism, free from the need to be anything more than entertainment. This book was a joy to read and Adams showcases where Hal, Barry and Ollie are my Trinity. Sign me up for a Brave and Bold series with these three and I'd be there every month! Eight out of ten lanterns. Read Full Review
Green Lantern / Green Arrow: World's Finest Special #1 is an entertaining story with low stakes that fans may enjoy if they are looking for a more easy going one-shot. Read Full Review
Solid fun. Doesn't try to re-invent the wheel, just gives us the kind of adventure fans of these characters crave. Exactly what a good one-shot should be.
Captures the flavor of the original team-up, with a good dose of humor, and affection for how the characters interact.
this was a really fun and entertaining one-off issue from DC
A lot of fun, but takes its cues far more from what Waid and Peyer and Kitson did in Flash/GL: The Brave and the Bold than the actual Hard Travelling Heroes stories. Still, this is probably as close as we are getting to classic firebrand Ollie any time soon.
